The Port of Salalah, recognized as one of the largest multi-purpose ports in the Middle East, achieved a significant milestone in 2022 by handling 18.5 million metric tons of general cargo. This positive trend continued into January of the following year, with the Port managing 1.9 million metric tons of general cargo, marking the highest volume recorded in any month since its establishment.
